Spires

Everything seemed to flow quite well when I saw this, from the lean

of the hoodoos with the swriling clouds to the wave of the rocks in

the foreground. Thanks for any thoughts.

 

cheers,

I would agree, your image does flow very well! Good contrast! Congrats!

Well captured. You could probably play with the contrast for a more dramatic effect.

fantastic tones and composition

 

Good work

Aaron, this forms seems somehow even more dramatic in B&W. These forms positively loom here and really seem alive -- they are taking on abstarct human shapes. It was their jaunty attitude that has attracted me all along. Now I am really smilling. Very nice work Aaron...

I'll agree with David, I think B&W is a better approach than color here, because it's the swaying lines in these formations that amaze the most. A fine composition here, and of course the near-congruence between the spires and the clouds really makes the image work. The light seems a bit flat -- though I think this a successful image, it'd be interesting to see the same shot in more dramatic light.

very good photo

Hi Aaron... i like this image very much and i agree this should stay b/w... you have here so many curved geometric patterns both in the lower part and in the higher part of the frame that the only way to go - according to my tastes - is b/w... also i like tones and level of details, i like the choice to not overdo contrasts becouse otherwise we would have lost many details in highlights... very well done... g.

Thanks everyone, and thank you Giuseppe. Your B+W architecture is truly amazing and inspiring.

Nice work Aaron. I haven't see the color version, but I can't imagine that it would be more effective than this BW version - it seems like a perfect image for monochrome treatment since that focuses our attention on the textures, shadows, and form.

 

Since you asked for comment/feedback, and even though I think this is very effective as is, I wonder whether it would be a good thing or a bad thing to lose just a bit of the right margin of the image? My eye is slightly distracted by the the bit of darker background hillside. I would not go so far as to eliminate it completely; perhaps just take out 40%-50% of it. Or not... :-)

Hi Dan,

 

I never mind trying a crop. You might be right...

 

cheers,

Aaron
